Felix Baumgartner prepares to jump during the first manned test flight for Red Bull Stratos in March over Roswell, N.M. On Wednesday, the 43-year-old Austrian plunged to Earth from an altitude of more than 18 miles landing safely near Roswell, N.M. It’s was the second stratospheric leap for “Fearless Felix.” He’s aiming for a record-breaking jump from 125,000 feet, or 23 miles, in another month.
